Wash day and catching up

Somedays I feel like I'm just so far behind!


Monday is my laundry day and I like to get an early start. This morning I was up at 3:00 am (not to do laundry) but to put the coffee on for Galen. He needed to be on the road by 3:30 because he had a big travel day ahead of him. So after he was safely on the road, I went back to bed to catch a few more hours of sleep.






When I got up, I had a few errands to run (post office, card shop, bank) so I did those and got home around noon, started my wash and then made something to eat.

Mmmm, caesar salad with left over chicken from the weekend.

Then a few more loads of wash and some ironing.





I can remember when wash day actually took the whole day, and we hung clothes out on the line to dry. Thinking back, I enjoyed that time. I loved how fresh the laundry smelled when it was brought in from outside.

Just a few more things to do ~ some bills to pay and a bit of cleaning and then I'm calling it a day!



Enjoy your day!

Monday morning

I was up before sunrise this morning. That's right. In fact at 2:30 AM Galen and I got up so we could be on the road at 3:30 AM to be at the airport by 4:30 AM. Galen had a flight at 6:00 AM. He's flying to Missouri for sales meetings this week. You're probably wondering why he doesn't drive by himself. Well, I like to go with him, in fact I drive so he can catch a nap, or we chit chat, have coffee, and also this way he doesn't have to park the car at the airport for a week.

I'm driving home from the airport at 5:00 AM drinking coffee to stay awake. Not very many people on the road at this hour. It's still dark when I pull in the driveway.

Otis and Riley are happy to see me and I head for the sofa with the two of them.

I've had my nap but I'm still feeling a bit fuzzy. I'm not sure how much I'll get done today, but I'll start with the laundry and another cup of coffee. I think it might be a long day!

Have a good Monday!

Mondays

These beautiful flowers were given to me for Easter and they sure are helping me get through this blah Monday. Aren't they pretty? Why is it that after a holiday it's so hard to get back to the regular grind?

All I need now is a little bit of sunshine. That, I think, would do the trick!

Monday

Ugh, Monday. We just got back from vacation and I've been catching up on things. I managed to get some painting in today, as you can see I'm still working on whirligigs. Actually, it's very relaxing and I'd much rather be doing this than laundry. And, it's way too hot outside to do any gardening. It hit 98 degrees today, heat index over 100. Our grass crackles when you walk on it. I'm a little concerned about the garden, however, when we got back from vacation, there were tons of green beans to be picked. With this heat spell we've been having, I may be doing a lot more painting, inside.
